New warnings in XCode 6

Question

Since I've been using XCode 6 I got some new warnings which I don't quite understand:

Property type 'UITextView *' is incompatible with type 'NSString *' inherited from 'NSObject'
'copy' attribute on property 'description' does not match the property inherited from 'NSObject'
'atomic' attribute on property 'description' does not match the property inherited from 'NSObject'

Here the line its related to:

@property (nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UITextView *description;

Sometimes it happens when you try to initialize it in a wrong way. It could happen for you if you are initializing it as a NSString. — user813891

NSObject has a property with the same name, but a different type - NSString, which you are overriding with your own declaration. Change your property name to solve the problem.

description is the method that is used when you print an object with the %@ format specifier. You don't want to mess with that. You really, really don't want a property named description.
